The Ontology Conservation Law as an Alternative to the Many World Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Research output: Working paper › Preprint › Academic

Abstract

A sharper formulation is presented for an interpretation of quantum mechanics advocated by author. As an essential element we put forward conservation laws concerning the ontological nature of a variable, and the uncertainties concerning the realisation of states. Quantum mechanics can then be treated as a device that combines statistics with mechanical, deterministic laws, such that uncertainties are passed on from initial states to final states.
